They are making genetically modified ‘super trees’ that will absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide that causes the greenhouse effect.

“Plants respire in reverse, CO2 in, Oxygen out.”

You should get your facts in order before inserting yourself into conservation.

respiration
[ˌrespəˈrāSH(ə)n]

NOUN
biology
a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.

Really ?

re·spire

verb
breathe.
“he lay back, respiring deeply”
(of a plant) carry out respiration, especially at night when photosynthesis has ceased.

Do I know you from parler, or boot camp ?

respire is breathing

Btw

I worked contract admin for blm
in Silviculture for years.

Planting and growing trees was literally my job.

the simpler solution is just to cut the cost of desalination until its cheap enough to ship to inland deserts for farming

that would roughly double the size of habitable earth and sold increase the amount of CO2 absorbed by trees as a by product.

Respiration equals breathing

My point stands

No CO2

No plants

No life

Well, you could just plant more trees.

Honestly, I can’t tell you how many neighborhoods and other places where I see people taking down older trees and not putting ANYTHING green in its place. They don’t want to be bothered with raking……

Unstink8ng real.

I have great memories of tree lined streets when we were kids. Shady and cool underneath them. They are all gone now and it’s hotter than blazers and looks terrible.

I don’t get what people have against trees.

Color me embarrassed. Been a long time since I took biology and botany.

” Been a long time since I took biology and botany.”

I don’t know what they teach now but I only learned about photosynthesis ‘back then’.

Actually, plants have a day cycle and a night cycle. Day cycle - CO2 in O2 out, night cycle - O2 in CO2 out. Typically, the day cycle out weighs the night cycle.

“Actually, plants have a day cycle and a night cycle. Day cycle - CO2 in O2 out, night cycle - O2 in CO2 out. Typically, the day cycle out weighs the night cycle.”

Actually, the two processes are referred to as photosynthesis and respiration.

Photosynthesis requires a light source. Respiration occurs 24 hours a day.

Then they will expel huge amounts of 02. What could go wrong? The air we breathe is roughly 78 percent Nitrogen 21 percent 02. The remaining 1 percent contains all the other gases of which Carbon is 0.0345 percent.

Foul up that ratio who knows what will go wrong?

Yes, photosynthesis during the day and respiration at night. I got them reversed.

Pretty sure they still teach it properly in STEM oriented programs (I hope).
